Rong Tong said calmly, "You think too highly of me. If I had this miraculous ability like this fellow Taoist, how could I end up in this hard-working life." She raised her eyes to look at him, "And what is this? Exchange?" test?"
"It's just that I want to make the final decision." Zhang Wei looked at her calmly. Rong Tong tried his best to respond with the same understatement, but after a stalemate for several breaths, he was still defeated.
"Are you going to keep playing riddles with me if I don't follow your wishes?" She smiled again, more self-deprecatingly. It is said that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. As a member of the majority of women, she deeply feels that this is a huge misunderstanding... At most, it is at the bottom of the pond. Really, if you are determined to hold your breath and plunge hard, you may be able to fish it out. . This is the real Mariana Trench, and I want to use his skills to build a nuclear submarine!
"Okay, if you insist on listening, I'll just say a few words... What, 'humble opinion', that's how self-effacing words are used here, right?"
Zhang Wei raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Rong Tong threw a piece of soft stuff on the ground and sat down comfortably, "Well, where did I just talk about...oh, a secret letter, right? What is written on this secret letter is--"
Chuanxiong couldn't help but prick up his ears. He couldn't read the content of this secret letter despite all his efforts. Now he wants to see how this girl's film can be interpreted.
Rong Tong moved his index and middle fingers together, shaking his head like a storyteller, "Today, your kid's vision has been fulfilled. Don't get entangled in it from now on, otherwise you, a rat like you, won't survive tonight!"
ha? !
With Chuanxiong's expression of "Are you kidding me?", she shrugged very sincerely, "Of course, the original words may be harsher than this, and I don't rule out the possibility that there are no curse words. But we are all Civilized people, just listen to what you mean."
Seeing that Chuanxiong was about to open her mouth, she guessed it was sarcasm, so she cut off her words in order to keep her ears quiet, "You were stuck in the deduction earlier, but it's because the deceased's mental journey through this period is difficult to understand? Well, it's similar to that Anger, cowardice, contempt, unwillingness, self-abasement, indifference...all the emotions are contradictory, without logic, and there is no way to start?"
"You can also feel it?" Chuanxiong's contempt suddenly turned into vast surprise when someone broke the knot in his deduction.
"No," Rong Tong said simply, "I just did the opposite of you, and I'm just inferring psychology from my behavior."
She was too lazy to show off, and she even disliked Zhang Weicheng's usual mystique, so since she agreed, she made it clear at once: "Actually, your deduction started to go awry from the first time he formally came into contact with the 'masterminds behind the scenes'. It’s not so much that the people behind the scenes are threatening this person, it’s more that this person is threatening the people behind the scenes.”
Ligusticum chuanxiong raised her eyebrows, but Rong Tong didn't give him any chance to fight. Like a straight man who completely ignored the raging anger of her female friends, she blurted out the classic saying, "Come, let me tell you the facts and reason."
"First of all, according to what you said, this person took the Kunlun disciple exam two hundred and seventy-five years ago!"
All Chuanxiong's anger and sarcasm were muted in his throat. His mind suddenly stirred, and he seemed to have noticed the key point that he had overlooked before.
Yes, Emperor Xuan had only ascended for fifteen years at that time! The Xinyou incident has not happened yet! Kunlun, and even the entire Junzhou, were under the high-pressure rule of Luochuan. Surveillance is everywhere, and monks must always pay attention to their words and deeds. The slightest carelessness may lead to imprisonment. Misdemeanors are often punished with heavy penalties, and people are wiped out in the execution ground every day. From high-level to low-level, from those in power to wandering cultivators, everyone is in danger.
That means...means -
"In an era where we are worried about tomorrow every day, and in an era where every word or look can be judged, how can greed and corruption breed?" Rong Tong just mentioned the most sensitive topic in one sentence, and then switched back to the question. At the core, "There is only one possibility. At that time, the secret operation of selecting disciples did not form a large scale at all. It was most likely just accidental, and it was not even possible for Kunlun's senior officials to participate."
We cannot limit ourselves to today's turbulent situation and forget that Kunlun was once the pinnacle of Junzhou's centralization of power, the uncrowned king. Even if other sects and aristocratic families are professed ministers, according to the administrative level, the ceiling of political career is the division level. Even if they all unite, they cannot shake a finger of Kunlun. In that era, who could afford to "bribe" state-level officials?
"The realm is almost at the Nascent Soul stage. It has just met the minimum requirements for joining the inner sect's administrative system. It will not go any higher... Of course, I can't say for sure now. As for his identity, he is basically a lieutenant in a certain department under the Sixth Hall. Officials and the few people under him, I remember that at that time, the Sixth Hall was constantly being asked to 'abolish redundant officials', and the number of people would not exceed four. Well, the one who is most suspicious seems to be our Sijitang."
"Your conclusion is very problematic!" Chuanxiong caught an opportunity and immediately raised an objection, "The resources of Kunlun and other small sects are also very different. Who outside can give a bribe to someone from the Sixth Hall who is willing to risk his life?"
Rong Tong smiled half-heartedly, "Who told Taoist friends that the people who took bribes were from the inner sect?"
Not surprisingly, Chuanxiong was stunned again.
"Friend Daoist, please clarify the process of selecting disciples."
In order to prevent him from interrupting and wasting her precious rest time, Rong Tong stopped pausing and said, "Kunlun selects disciples. The first test is to check the household registration and screen the spiritual roots; the second test is to test the sensitivity to the spiritual force field; after entering the outer gate, the Qi is drawn Entering the body depends on the disciple’s learning ability.”
"And among these three steps, the only one that really needs to rely entirely on talent to pass is the first test. The latter two can be temporarily supplemented by practicing Taoism in advance the day after tomorrow. This is why the protagonist of your story will find that around you His fellow sects are all 'geniuses'. In fact, it's just that they have practiced more than him for a few more years. Therefore, if a sect family wants to send its own people to Kunlun, they only need to pass the preliminary examination, which is the local Kunlun branch. This level is enough." Youdushu
"In the tenth year after Emperor Xuan's ascension, the Zhengshi Hall officially canceled the supply of high-level elixirs to the Kunlun branch on the grounds that no one from the outer sect had broken through to the Nascent Soul in six hundred years. And with the financial resources of most of the monks in the branch, they purchased it themselves. High-level elixirs are even more unaffordable, and Kunlun’s supervision is usually tight internally and loose externally, so bribing those branch members who are not willing to stop here for the rest of their lives is their most feasible and only entry point.”
"So you see, if there is a branch leader who still has not given up the hope of advancement and his will is not strong enough, and there happens to be a bold sect or family who becomes the first to take advantage of the situation. The leader opens I let a group of people in with one eye closed, but the carelessness of the selectors who happened to come to review actually allowed them to pass..."
"Put it down. Do you know how strict the Kunlun review process is! Where did you get so many? Have you heard of the 'Skynet'?" He designed it himself, the master of the construction hall, and loaded the identity information of all Junzhou monks. An irreplaceable human soul is used to identify its identity. Back then, Luo Chuan ordered people to place it in the sky over Kunlun, covering the entire Kunlun territory. Under the sky, anyone could be swept away from the eighteenth generation of their ancestors at a glance.
Rong Tong glanced at Chuanxiong meaningfully, "Yes, it's unlikely that there will be so many coincidences, so once something is found to be wrong, what do you think will happen?"
"Of course, those involved and those who neglected their duties should be punished according to law." Chuanxiong answered without thinking.
"Well, punished according to law. In this case, everyone can be sentenced to ashes."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"How do you know I'm talking nonsense?"
"Nonsense, I was..." When Chuanxiong realized that something was wrong, he was only one step away from spilling the beans. He quickly stepped back from the cliff and held back a reply for a long time, "Then how can you prove that you are not talking nonsense?"
Zhang Wei, who was watching the whole process: "..."
There is really no cure for this attribute. Even after years of hard work, it has only turned this guy into a hidden scumbag.
"The "Second Informal Revision Plan of the New Kunlun Laws" issued two hundred and eighty years ago has detailed provisions, and there are also similar cases." Rong Tong looked as formal as an official document, and she glanced at the words behind her. Zhang Wei, "For details, please refer to the Record Collection Room of Kunlun Langhuan Hall. Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Zhang should have a certain understanding of this, right?"
Chuanxiong saw his master nodded slightly in despair.
how come……
He began to feel a chill running down his spine. Even though he was the one who had witnessed those fifty years, it seemed like a leaf was blocking his eyes. What was he doing at that time... Yes, Luochuan opened up a whole mountain for the construction hall and allocated a lot of resources and plenty of time. They stayed there for many years and devoted themselves to researching all "great" things. s things. More than anyone else, he was deaf to what was going on outside the window. He felt that he had nothing to do with politics. When he realized something was wrong, one day the treasures on the mountain were exhausted, but the new supplies were not as good as before. Shipments are coming in a steady stream. But at that time, Luochuan could no longer protect himself.
Because of this, he remained steadfast in his resentment towards the Presbyterian Church, but to what extent the harsh rule of the Luochuan era had reached, he had been ignoring it intentionally or unintentionally for hundreds of years.
"So if the staff who handled the matter noticed something was wrong before the matter was exposed. How high-level of consciousness do you think they must have to report to the superiors without reservation? Think about it, who can survive a small disaster? After going through all kinds of hardships and nine deaths - oh, some evildoers can't be counted - but the butcher's knife they faced head-on was just because of some rat shit criminal who couldn't be beaten by the eight poles below. Who would be willing to do that?!"
Rong Tong shook his head, "So, their purpose of covering up the matter in the first place was just to save their lives."
"At that time, Kunlun was still advocating 'comprehensive development'. Shan, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, divination, and utensils all had to be cultivated from Qi training to Nascent Soul. Even if you didn't enter the construction hall, you had some attainments in utensil cultivation. For a small number of people, if they are within the system of the Six Halls, it is not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of 'Skynet'... Well, in this way, the scope of searching for 'suspects' can be narrowed down again."
"But who would have thought that an old matter that had been 'perfectly resolved' would be investigated to the root a few years later by an unknown person from the outer sect. The 'suspect' should not be the kind of ruthless and courageous character, otherwise it would never be possible Tolerate the existence of this protagonist, not to mention that others in the future can safely advance to Nascent Soul and be transferred back to the prosperous Southern Jin Dynasty."
"So my conclusion is that rather than the 'suspect' threatening the protagonist, the truth is more likely to be the other way around." After all, judging from the various deeds of this man during his lifetime, he did not shy away from Emperor Xuan when he took the name of Dao, and did not take anything from anyone who came from the inner sect. Looking at it rightly, if you want to take the villain route, it seems that you are not qualified. It breaks the sky-high version of "It's not me who is wrong, it's the world" and "I would rather the world bear me than I bear the world".
However, it is precisely the recklessness of such people who do not know the heights of the world that sometimes really causes more headaches than those conspirators who take every step of the way. "
"The last story is very cliché. For the sake of profit, the former victim finally became the perpetrator. He was too arrogant and lost the final value. In the end, he had no choice but to die at the hands of a mere incompetent person."
"The above is the ups and downs of the protagonist, the real person Shang Qin who was lying here just a few hours ago." Rong Tong finished his final concluding speech, raised his head and faced Zhang Wei from a distance, "How about it, now I Are you qualified enough to listen to your ins and outs, fellow Taoist?"
